Nineteen - The Way is Shut -

Someone opened a locker and started to rummage around in the contents.

Err... faculty then? Maybe one of the teachers?

The locker closed with a clack

Unable to hear anything more, Sam strained to catch any sound at all.

Faintly, he could just barely make out what sounded like bare feet on tile.

Then a shower turned on.

Faculty!

Go!

Opening the locker door, Sam hurried out of his cramped quarters and exited the locker room.

Getting into the hallway, he adjusted his tie and jacket and tried to calm himself down.

Two bodies.

One I have to deal with, one someone else has to deal with.

Time to be gone. Let's make sure we take our personnel files with us. No sense in leaving it behind.

Moving to the filing room he'd been working in, Sam found there was still no one around. For which he was infinitely grateful at the moment. The last thing he needed to do was kill someone and add to the body count.

He snatched Mitch's student file first and then Hillary's. Then he moved to the HR cabinet and got out his own folder.

Holding all three of them, Sam used the thinnest trickle of Essence magic he could and set them alight.

They started to burn merrily.

Glancing up at the smoke detector and sprinkler system, Sam directed that same trickle of Essence upward to cover them. He definitely didn't need either one of those going off right now.

The goal was to get Mitch out of here and to safety. Not having a swarm of first responders all trying to save a school full of kids.

Then finding two bodies in it. One that looked like it was in a slasher fic and the other the girlfriend of a superhero comic gone wrong.

At least it isn't a refrigerator.

Splitting his Essence into even thinner parts, Sam made sure to collect all the ashes of the files as they flaked apart. His goal was to eliminate all evidence of Mitch and to make sure there were no traces of wrongdoing either.

Task finally complete, Sam compressed the ashes into a single point by folding the Essence atop itself. Until it became little more than a black ball of soot.

It wasn't recognizable as anything at all by that point.

Dropping it into the trash can, Sam left the filing room.

Looking at the door, Sam considered his options. The easiest was to simply head to his car and wait for the end of the day, which wasn't too far away.

Alternatively, he could try to track down Hillary, have her grab Mitch, and then get the heck out of dodge through a portal.

Deciding on both, Sam left the room and started heading towards his car. All the while, he was on the lookout for Hillary.

There were a few students wandering the campus but, by and large, it was empty. Everyone should be in classes or leaving.

Unfortunately, he didn't spot Hillary. A strange and ugly burning sensation that started as an ember was quickly growing into a full on bonfire in Sam's gut.
